title: [Ultrasonographic examination in the differential diagnosis of jaundice].
abstract: The results of complex examination of 352 patients with various forms of jaundice are discussed. All patients underwent ultrasonic examination (USE). Comparison of the results of USE with those of other methods of examination showed it to possess diagnostic value in patients with various forms of jaundice. The highest accuracy of the diagnosis was in patients with parenchymatous jaundice. In patients with benign jaundice as well as in those with jaundice of a neoplastic origin USE is a valuable method in determining the sequence of manipulations in the diagnostic program, but it cannot be a means of making the final diagnosis.
